After a brief debate at its Sept. 5 meeting, the Lake Forest City Council directed its staff to explore ways to put e-scooter and e-bike use under the same regulations as the city’s current bicycle ordinance.
Changes may be coming soon to Lake Forest’s e-scooter regulations as city officials consider safety concerns amid the rapidly growing popularity of the devices.
“Our city prides itself in making fact-based decisions through a thoughtful and deliberate process to implement ordinances to address issues like this,” said Preschlack, who was serving as mayor pro tem at the City Council as Mayor Stanford “Randy” Tack was absent. “I’m having a really difficult time equating an e-scooter that does 25-30 miles per hour with a bicycle. I think the end result of a vehicle traveling that fast can be significantly different with a more catastrophic outcome than a bicycle,” Goshgarian said.
